Chapter 831


    "Ouch! Mr. Lopez, where on earth did you pick up those roses?" Dorothy remained silent, but it was


    Karen who covered her mouth to stifle augh, "Feeling a bit jealous that my girl Dorothy got


    flowers from someone?"


    Everett stepped forward, cing the bouquet at Dorothy''s feet.


    Dorothy thought Everett wouldn''t indulge Karen''s teasing, but to her surprise, he nodded. "Yeah, a


    little."


    Karen opened her mouth to retort, but Jeffrey swiftly whisked her away.


    "Come on, don''t be a third wheel!"


    With Karen and Jeffrey around, Dorothy hadn''t felt too embarrassed. But once they were gone, she


    was so flustered she couldn''t even look Everett in the eye.


    "I told you, you didn''t have to buy flowers."


    "I know, but I couldn''t let someone else show me up."


    Hopelessly, Dorothy''s gaze fell on the lush roses. "You just got to Everglow City. When did you even


    have time to order flowers?"


    "Before boarding the ne."


    "That early?"


    Back then, he hadn''t even discussed the idea of exchanging favors for dating her! So, he must have


    been certain she would agree all along.


    "Dorothy, whatever you want, just let me know."


    If it were within his power, he wouldn''t hesitate. Not for roses or anything...


    "Yeah, I get it."


    "You don''t get it." Everett raised his hand, gently caressing her cheek. "I mean everything. Anything


    you want."


    He never wanted Dorothy to give him anything; he just wanted her to believe that for her, he would


    do anything.


    ...


    Jeffrey not only arranged for a barbecue but also set up a bonfire.

    Trust a party pro to set the mood!


    After the meal, they sat around the fire, and Karen suggested, "How about we y a game?"


    "Sure thing!" Jeffrey agreed, then quickly added, "But Karen, no extreme sports for you!"


    "Don''t worry, I got this!" After saying that, she turned to Dorothy. "Truth or Dare, okay with you?"


    Dorothy nodded; she usually wasn''t a party pooper. "Fine by me."


    "What about Mr. Lopez?"


    "I''m game."


    Karen shed an ''OK'' sign, stood up, and picked up an empty soda bottle from the ground, cing


    it in the center.


    "Whoever the bottle points to has to choose truth or dare. The person who spun the bottle asks the


    question or makes a dare. And then, the one who answers spins next! Alright, let''s get started!"


    Karen rubbed her hands together and gave the bottle a twirl.


    After several spins, the bottle pointed straight at Jeffrey!


    "Huh? Me first?"


    Karenughed. "Choose, truth or dare?"


    "Let''s start with truth, test the waters!" Jeffrey assumed Karen would ask something like whether he


    truly loved someone.


    But after a moment''s thought, Karen blurted out, "Jeffrey, how old were you when you had sex for


    the first time?"


    Not just Jeffrey but Everett and Dorothy were taken aback, turning their gaze to Jeffrey.


    "Come on! Don''t tell me you can''t handle the question?"


    Seeing the amusement in Karen''s eyes, Jeffrey felt a pounding in his temples. After what seemed


    like an eternity, he muttered, "Sixteen."


    "Jeffrey, you dog! We''ve all underestimated you!" Karen punched him yfully, no sign of anger on


    her face. "Sixteen and already chasing girls!"


    Not wanting to dwell on the topic, Jeffrey quickly spun the bottle.


    Next up, it pointed to Everett.


    "Truth," he said without hesitation.


    "Alright! Then tell me, the first time you masturbated, were you thinking of Dorothy?"
